گر جرم یک ستاره ی
نوترونی بیشتر از 2.5 برابر جرم خورشید باشد، حتی فشار ناشی از تباهی
نوترون نیز نمی تواند در مقابل گرانش مقاومت کند. یک نیروی ناشناخته
موجب می شود تا ستاره تا حد یک نقطه ی ریاضی درهم فرو بریزد
If a
neutron star becomes more massive than 2.5 solar masses, not even
neutron degeneracy pressure will be able to resist the immense
gravity. At that stage, no force known in nature can prevent a
complete catastrophic collapse of the entire star down to a
mathematical point. All the mass would be contained in a point of
zero volume, infinite density and infinite gravity, known as a
singularity. It seems impossible, yet the singularity is an
inescapable consequence of the General Theory of Relativity, the
best theory of gravity available today. |
